After discussing some ideas with my peers, I ended up making a simple design, that hand fewer holes, but was still visually interesting, and wouldn't take away from the importance of the thread.
To outsource the ring, and have it 3D Printed, I ordered it through a company in the states known as Shapeways. Their website allows you to check and see if there are any parts of your design that need adjusting so it is printed (almost) perfectly. My design, as it was simple enough (and I suppose well thought out too) I didn't need to make any adjustments.
I had ordered the ring to be cast into silver (because despite my ability to be able to cast the ring myself, I don't particularly like casting, and this saved me the time required to cast).
At some point I had a few issues (I had received an empty box, and it was evident that the ring had likely fallen out during shipping) But the problem was resolved in an orderly and friendly manner.
Here is the ring with the embroidery thread on it. I may have to re-do the thread, I had forgotten to wax it before attaching it, and I can tell that it has begun to fray a tad, as I have worn it many times already.
Overall I was satisfied with the results.
